I am having a problem with accessing my website. During the installation I renamed my system folder to bmsystem. When I go to bluemarigold.com/index.php, I get the login for the configuration page. When I go to bluemarigold.com/bmsystem/index.php, I get the following error message.

Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php

Both index.php files contain this code to define the system folder:

$system_path = “./bmsystem”;

What am I missing here? On the web server, everything is in a folder called htdocs, so the actual path is /htdocs/bmsystem. Is this what I need to put?

bluemarigold,

What version of EE did you just install?

Both index.php files contain this code to define the system folder:

What do you mean by both index files?

In the index.php (and admin.php in EE2.2) in your root you should have the following.

$system_path = './bmsystem';

In the index.php in bmsystem it should be blank

$system_path = '';

Thanks for the help, I think I have it figured out now. Just to confirm, bluemarigold.com/bmsystem should bring up the admin menu and bluemarigold.com should be a blank page correct?

Hi bluemarigold,

If you haven’t created any templates, then yes, the homepage will be blank. As far as the control panel, we now recommend accessing it via admin.php, though going directly to the system folder will work too. Make sure to set your system path correctly in admin.php as well.
